Fernando Torres has signed a new contract with Atletico Madrid.

Marca says Torres has signed an extension to stay at Atletico Madrid until June 2018.

An agreement has been in place for some time, but the club waited until Torres retrurned from holiday to put pen to paper, which they did this Wednesday.

Los Colchoneros have a policy of only offering one-year extensions to players over 30 and this has been the case with El Nino.

The striker will be present at training on Thursday to receive Diego Simeone's first pre-season training session of the new term.
